We’re in the final stretch to being ready to launch a brand new design for PCMech.com. I wanted to give you guys an update on what’s in store. This is going to be a lot more than a re-design. While the entire scope of the project is a bit large, it is actually going to be a shift in how the site conducts itself. There will be editorial changes as...

It was way back in 1997 when I first got the idea for PCMech.com. It started out as a small collection of hobby articles I wrote and posted on the 5 MB of free web hosting space provided by my ISP. It then evolved to Geocities (now defunct). Then, to Pair Networks (my current host). Over the years, it has undergone more facelifts than I can even remember. One of...

A couple months ago, I ran a “clearance sale” here on PCMech.com to clear out all of our old physical inventory of product. Simply put, PCMech is no longer going to deal with physical products, instead focusing primarily on PCMech Premium and electronic info products to help our members and subscribers. However, we still have some stuff left to get rid of...

David Risley here with an announcement from PCMech. I have decided to bring an end to the PCMech line of physical products in our online store. In this modern day and age, I can better serve all customers through the use of digital content, which requires no shipping costs to you nor to me. The PCMech Premium membership has become our primary means of delivering...

I am beginning to look for additional contributors to the PCMech editorial team. My goals are to introduce additional viewpoints and interests into our content. So, would you be interested in joining the team? Obviously, you must be well-versed in computers and technology otherwise you’re going to have a hard time (pretty obvious). However, I am not limiting...

I am making an adjustment in how PCMech is represented on Twitter. For some time, I have had new posts from PCMech.com tweeted out over my personal Twitter account, @davidrisley. I had the account @pcmech registered, but rarely used it. That is now changing. In short, there are two very different aspects to David Risley. I am the founder of PCMech, a tech site...

I am coming to you from aboard Crown Princess, a cruise ship operated by Princess Cruise Lines. I’m out in the middle of the Caribbean Sea right now, and cruising back to Ft. Lauderdale. And I had a quick video which I just recorded from here. My wife and I have enjoyed our vacation. We took a lot of photos and video, much of which I’ll be sharing...

OK, Friday has arrived. That means tomorrow I am going on a much needed vacation with my wife. It also means that it is time to unleash what we’re going to be doing differently with our membership program in 2009. First, here are the three videos I’ve done this week already:Feedback from PCMech Members [Video #1] Explanation of PCMech Membership...

In our third video this week, I get interrogated. In my survey over this last weekend, I had a lot of people ask questions about our PCMech Membership program. And, I take all the questions. Good and bad. And whether they sting or not. I get asked everything from the usual questions, to questions about whether I’m a scam. I take them all. Here is the...

In this second of four videos this week about the PCMech Premium membership program, I wanted to clarify something. Some people find themselves confused on whether this program is about internet business or about computers. In this video, I explain my philosophy behind this membership program. You’ll also get a little view into my office and my house...
